“元语言否定”的多维阐释

A Multi-perspective Account of Metalingistic Negation

否定性表达式在言语交际中的作用举足轻重,自然语言中的否定现象纷繁复杂。无论是对一般的否定现象,还是就所谓的“元语言否定”而言,传统的单一解释模式证明难以奏效。认知语用学的发展为研究否定提供了一种多维度的全新视角。基于这种多维视角,择取一种多元的阐释路径,方可在不断拓展与深化(元语言)否定现象之研究中,对这一论题做出更加新颖而科学合理的解答。

Negative expresslons play a weighty role in linguistic communication. And negation in our natural languages turns out to be so complicated that the traditional unitary account proves ineffective either for negation in general or for the so-called metalinguistic negation in particular. The development of cognitive pragrnatics has made it possible to study negation from a novel multi - dimensional perspective. On the basis of this new perspective and by adopting a pluralistic account, it is to be expected that new answers can be found that will prove more reasonable and scientific for explicating the issue of negation in our natural languages
